After booking this session a few months ago, it seemed like a far ways away, but as usual … time flew and suddenly it was time!   Darren and Renee are a fab couple, I had tons of fun hanging out with you guys and getting to know you… and I most certainly can’t wait to meet your little one in January!    It was the first time in a long time that I did a session at my home, and I have to say I quite enjoyed it!  (perhaps it was the fact my house wasn’t loud with kid noises…lol)   We started off with the indoor belly shots and then headed out to a few spots within walking distance of my house.  The weather held out for us…   it started raining about 10 minutes after we finished.

Renee is a beautiful prego mama, with a gorgeous belly, awesome wardrobe (take note of the many changes!), and fabulous smile.   She truly was so easy to photograph… I love my job!    Darren was very patient, and it was neat to see how much these two are in love.  Sigh.  Did I mention I love my job?

So, let’s get on with the show here…  the pics…

LOVE LOVE LOVE this new fabric Lisa picked up for me (thanks again!!) at Ikea the other day.   It’s exactly what I was looking for…   and Renee’s perfect belly makes this pic one of my faves of the session!

Raar!

Those lashes are seriously to die for!

Brrrrr…   I’m cold looking at this pic.  Renee was a trooper and had no problem shedding her jacket to get the shot :)   Okay, Darren was too…

some urban lovin’

such a happy, gorgeous mama

so across the road and over a bit from my house there is this pumpkin patch.  i’ve been eyeing it since the pumpkins started turning orange, but have never once taken pics there since.  it’s open, no shade, so anytime I’ve had the opportunity (until today!) it’s been way too sunny and bright…     Now I know why I’ve always too, I heart these pics!  Thanks for trudging through the rotten pumpkins and mud for these shots guys,  it was definitely worth it, don’t you think?

i heart it.

Thanks again for coming out guys…  hope you found it worth your time :)    We will be in touch, enjoy your weekend!

After rescheduling once due to rain, we thought it was going to happen again this past weekend, but the rain held out (all day even!) and along we went!    The kids were troopers, because though it wasn’t raining it was certainly cold and windy…  brrrr.

You guys are such a fun family, thanks so much for having me!    What handsome young men you have, and watch out…  Meagan’s going to be a heartbreaker (well, she already is!).  I hope you enjoy your sneak peak as much as I’ve enjoyed looking through your pics :)

Aren’t they an adorable family?   Love their interactions here…  very real.

what you don’t know is that the ground was wet… and they were hovering so they didn’t get soaked, but I think the end result was very worth it, don’t you?

isn’t this field rad?  (yeah, you read that right, I just used the word rad)

Before I start this post… just want to point you back to my Christmas card post…  and point you to the pics of our little family on the green polka dot card.  I wanted to (and edited the post now!) tell you all to go visit Rachel’s website.  She is an amazingly talented photographer (and fabulous mentor!), and we had the pleasure of having a family session done by her this past August.  I am just LOVING the pics…   so nice to have some of all of us – since I’m usually on the other end of the camera!  Thanks again Rachel :)   Here is the link to her blog post with more pics of us…   a whole bunch of these pics are now gracing the walls of our home.

So, onto minisessions.  We had gorgeous weather last Saturday, in between many days of rain!  Couldn’t have asked for better.    Great weather, great people, what else can I say :)   I’ll let the pics talk!  Enjoy!

My dear sister and her fam started things off…
